My name is Leslie Bell-Pashalek. I’ve been in the Minneapolis Public School system for 14 years, 10 of those as a Special Education Assistant. Once upon a time, I was a student at Ramsey. Later, my mother, a retired special education teacher, taught there. And now I’m back!

I have a family, including my husband, Mike, and my daughters, Lara and Anya. I enjoy reading, walking, gardening and so many other things.I especially like working with students and consider myself lucky to have a job where I can do that.
